td4.2 and lots of smoke
td4.2 and lots of smoke
G'day, I have a problem every now and again when I start the car, I drive out the drive and about 100mtrs down the road it feels like it wants to stall (always at the traffic lights ) so I stick the boot in and it feels like its flooding then a massive cloud of black smoke (never blue) covers the cars behind me and it fart and spaters across the traffic lights and then if I stop the car soon after say at the shops it's really heard to start. it realy frustrats me as about a month ago I replaced the injectors and glow plugs at great expence. any help would be good. also I will ring the place that did the injectors this week hope they can help aswell
Thanks
Thanks

Check all your filters including the one in the fuel tank it should be white not black that should be all for starters but im sure someone else will help out

could be something real simple, an air leak.. mine developed a leak when i changed the filter, found the leak to be in the water drain assembly.
When i was cruising down the highway it was good, let it idle at the lights for too long and it felt almost like it was starting to flood, rough idle, had to keep revs up etc, then when i took off it blew a fair bit of smoke and coughed and farted.
Also if left overnight i had to bleed the filter as gravity would draw the fuel back to the tank and suck air into the filter, no noticeable leaks...
Took a while to locate the leak but i knew it had the be around the filter as that was the only thing i changed.
Ended up sealing up all the galleries in the drain with araldite, until i could buy a new one, worked great.

There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots
Well it could be anywhere between the pickup in the tank to the injector pump, i guess bit by bit you could go through and check it (won't cost much!) probably start with the areas that have been worked on since the problem started.
Considering its not happening all the time will mean that if it is what i'm talking about you'll barely be able to detect a leak - it'll be small so you'll have to look for perished hoses, dry o-rings and seals in filter assy and filter bleed screw etc.
Good Luck and keep us posted.
